Destination description heading Arlberg Ski Area
The world famous Arlberg ski area is the largest interlinked ski area in Austria! Four cable cars were constructed to bridge the gap between St. Anton, St Christoph side and the Lech, Zürs side completely eradicating the need to take a ski bus between the two ski areas. This ski-link has created complete ski convenience as most of the properties in our Arlberg ski programme offer skiing from the front door.

Famed in Austria as 'the birthplace of skiing', the magnificent Arlberg is one of those select few ski areas which fully justifies its 'world-class' reputation. Renowned for its challenging slopes, both on and off-piste, the area also includes many wonderful miles of picturesque intermediate skiing, from high altitude, snow-sure open bowls to picturesque tree-lined pistes down to the valley.
The region boasts 200km of ‘deep snow runs’ as well as 304km of pistes. It was no coincidence that the celebrated Arlberg skiing technique was initiated here by the legendary Hannes Schneider, who was born nearby at Stuben.
The area has two distinct halves. The first links St. Anton with its even higher neighbours, St. Christoph and Stuben, and then a network of cable cars link the region with the huge network of slopes surrounding Lech and Zürs, including the excellent 'Borderpark' above Lech. An efficient ski bus service is in place to connect resorts in the region with the huge network of slopes.
Ride the rails straight from London St Pancras to St Anton's snowy peaks. Experience stunning alpine views, first-class resorts, and a journey that is as memorable as the destination itself by travelling to resort by rail. If scenic routes to snowy summits and spacious, relaxed travel appeals to you, then we've just the ticket.
